Ad-GFP-Baylor transduces diverse cochlear cell types when injected at P0. Representative confocal images of whole-mount fluorescent immunolabeling of cochlea injected at P0 to illustrate the basal (a), middle (b), and apical turns (c). Ad-GFP-Baylor transduces supporting cells (SCs) and inner hair cells (IHCs) at basal (a), SCs at middle (b), and outer hair cells (OHCs) at apical turns (c). IHC: inner hair cell, OHC: outer hair cell, and SC: supporting cell. Scale bars: 10 μm.
